24 KZ is the first and only specialized news channel in Kazakhstan that broadcasts 24/7. Owned by the state-run Khabar Agency, it serves as the country's primary and official news source. After operating as Khabar 24 from 2016 to 2023, the channel officially returned to its original name, 24 KZ, in early 2024 to refresh its image and focus more deeply on local news.
Content and Global Network
The channel follows a modern news wheel model, similar to major global agencies, with news bulletins updated every 20-30 minutes. Besides daily news, 24 KZ features in-depth analysis on economics, politics, and social issues. Notably, the channel has an extensive correspondent network covering local provinces as well as major international hubs like Washington D.C., Moscow, and Beijing.
Currently, 24 KZ prioritizes broadcasting in the Kazakh language (accounting for about 80-85% of airtime) along with Russian to serve the general public. Viewers can easily access the channel through the national satellite system Otau TV, cable TV, or online via their website and mobile apps. It is a trusted platform for citizens to verify information and keep up with the latest government policies.
